The pursuit started about 1:45 a.m. when four officers in a Gresham
district car spotted a van driving with its side door open in the 7200
block of South Champlain Avenue, Fraternal Order of Police Spokesman Pat
Camden said. The union represents rank-and-file police officers.

"It's
also a way the gangs do a lot of their drive-by shootings," Camden
said. "They try to stop the van and he doesn't really want to stop."

Stop.

Stop funding abortion, the mills that butcher life.

Stop excusing promiscuity, behavior that cheapens life.

Stop turning a blind eye.

In an interview outside her residence in the Altgeld Gardens public
housing complex, Coleman's mother, Robin Russell, wouldn't discuss
whether her son belonged to the Gangster Disciples.

"His music was his music," she said. "I didn't get into what he did ...
when he left my house. I tried to be there, tried to teach my son the
right way. But you can't hold no child's hand every step of the way. So
what he did in the streets I don't know about. What he raps about, I
don't know about. ... Whatever's going on out there, I don't know."
